Marlis Petersen in conversation with Eva-Maria Tomasi Zubin Mehta conducts Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9
Anton Bruckner dedicated his last symphony “to God the Beloved”. Yet here he not only created a valedictory work, but ventured into new, modern harmonic spheres. In this concert from February 2014, conductor Zubin Mehta couples the symphony with George Crumb’s song cycle Ancient Voices of Children, which likewise looks towards the transcendent, but from the perspective of the 20th century.
